    I actually really liked the show, and it hit on really dark shit that I can absolutely relate to; and I’m disabled and have been fighting depression for a long time. The day I became disabled, my life ended, and I’m just waiting out the clock until by early demise; but I enjoyed bh.

      I did enjoy it a lot too and I am pretty much like in your case. It’s well written, the characters are all great but the main character started as miserable and ended up as even more miserable despite his many attempts at trying to fix things. I didn’t expect happy story but every time bojack tries something to fix his life it ends up horribly horribly wrong. It was getting so bad that I jokingly thought that if they continued like this there will be a scene where bojack will be helping an old women cross the street, she randomly get hit by car and the writers will frame it as to blame bojack for the accident.

        I think you missed the point because he didn’t end up more miserable. He ended up better than he was, in little ways, sure, but in real ways. That’s the point of the show, that life isn’t some sitcom where everything gets wrapped up nicely.

        There’s always more show (life). The characters keep living, Bojack continues to struggle, but every day, he gets a little better.
